Lua Tween Part Info - if-statement

Question

I am making a tween that uses data given from a Humanoid.Seated event, and I wanted to make the camera go to the end point when sat down, however, move back after they sat up. I have a feeling that the problem is with the part info, however I could be wrong.
This is the code:
The Sender/Event Handler:
local camPart = script.Parent
local camEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.CamEvent
local blueSeat = script.Parent.Parent.BlueSeat.Seat --the correct seat person should be in
local bluePlayerName = script.Parent.Parent.Buttons.BlueEnter.PlayerName --the supposed name of person
bluePlayerName:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function ()
if (bluePlayerName ~= "") then
local char = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(bluePlayerName.Value, true)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
char.Humanoid.Seated:Connect(function (isSeated, seat)
if (seat.Name == blueSeat.Name) then
camEvent:FireClient(player, camPart, isSeated) --go to tween handler
end
end)
end
end)
The Receiver/Tween Handler:
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local cam = game.Workspace.Camera
local partData
local tween
local length = 2
local tweenData = TweenInfo.new(
length,
Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
0,
true,
0
)
script.Parent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function (camPart, isSeated) --receiver
partData = {
CFrame = camPart.CFrame
}
tween = TweenService:Create(cam, tweenData, partData)
if (isSeated == true) then
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable --remove control
tween:Play()
wait(length / 2)
tween:Pause() --stop at end point
elseif (isSeated == false) then
tween:Play() --go back/finish
wait(length / 2)
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom --give control back
end
end)

The fact that the RemoteEvent isn't firing at all should be an clue that the connection to the Humanoid.Seated event isn't being reached in the server Script. It's unclear from your code sample what would trigger the code in the first place, but it looks like you're just looking for when a player's character loads into the workspace.
I would recommend using the Player.CharacterAdded or Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded events as ways of getting access to the player's Character and humanoid. You can still use your UI code as a trigger for whether to tween or not, but it might be easier.
-- Server Script
local camPart = script.Parent
local camEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.CamEvent
local thing = script.Parent.Parent
local blueSeat = thing.BlueSeat.Seat --the correct seat person should be in
local bluePlayerName = thing.Buttons.BlueEnter.PlayerName --the supposed name of person
-- listen for when a player sits in a seat
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
character.Humanoid.Seated:Connect(function(isSeated, seat)
print("Player is seated?", isSeated)
if not isSeated then
-- tell the client to zoom out
camEvent:FireClient(player, camPart, isSeated)
else
-- decide whether to tween the camera
local isApprovedSeat = seat.Name == blueSeat.Name
local isNameSet = bluePlayerName.Value ~= ""
local shouldTweenCamera = isApprovedSeat and isNameSet
if shouldTweenCamera then
camEvent:FireClient(player, camPart, isSeated)
else
local message = table.concat({
"Camera not tweening because: ",
"Player has claimed this seat? " .. tostring(hasClaimedSeat),
"This is the approved seat? " .. tostring(isApprovedSeat)
}, "\n")
warn(messsage)
end
end
end)
end)
end)
Also, it looks like the LocalScript that is listening for this RemoteEvent is located in ReplicatedStorage. Check the documentation on LocalScripts, they only fire in a handful of locations, and ReplicatedStorage unfortunately isn't one of them. Try moving the LocalScript into StarterCharacterScripts and update the path to the RemoteEvent.
local camEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.CamEvent
camEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function (camPart, isSeated) --receiver
